Despite the presence of her name in the list of actors here, this is not in any sense a Bette Davis movie. She donned a nurse's outfit and sneaked in as an extra for a couple of scenes, as a joke for the benefit of James Stephenson (with whom she had recently appeared in one of her best movies, "The Letter") and Irving Rapper--who took a couple of takes to recognize her!

I liked this medical drama. Could so easily been a drag, yet the characters are complex, yet simple enough to identify with, and the story doesn't go the simple route, nor overboard to cause the drama. Very respectable performance from James Stephenson in what would be one of his last roles passing away less than 2 months after the release of Shining Victory (1941). He earned one Academy nomination during his brief Hollywood career, for his role in The Letter (1940).
